Daniel & Tim talk with poet Soul Vang, whose latest collection "To Live Here" is a collection of poems that unfolds as a memoir. The book tells of the Hmong experience in the US, and of Soul's experiences as a Hmong writer in Fresno CA and a US Army veteran. Soul is also a founder of the Hmong American Writers Circle http://hmongwriters.org/
For this week's Poem of the Week, Soul Vang reads "Chino" from his collection, "To Live Here."
Plus, Daniel & Tim reflect on the loss of Chicana writer and humorist, Michele Cerros. You can listen to NPR's remembrance of Cerros at http://www.npr.org/2015/01/07/375640110/remembering-generation-mex-writer-and-proud-outsider-michele-serros.
